Default ITR IM on B16a, What kind of gains?

As the title says,

I searched and am sorry if I had missed or searched incorrectly.


I understand from the research i have done that a huge limiting factor

in the JDM B16a is the IM. I know that the ITR and the B16 are the same head casting and I have been told that swapping for an ITR IM
that I will get a great gain.

I currently have CAI/H/E and other boltons,

Is swapping to an ITR IM worthy of the time and money?

I was just wondering what type of gains I might expect from doing this.


Thank you.

If you would have searched well you would see that the best intake manifold for a relatively stock B16 is a 2nd gen 92-00 B16a manifold. An ITR manifold will loose power everywhere in the powerband except the last 300-400 RPM.

i have a b16 head thats fully built (ported polish. valve job, s2s2 cams and camgears, etc.) and i have a ITR manifold for it for my LSVTEC....would this still be a true for a built head or is the ITR manifold fine???

i am asuming : for an LSV it wud be fine, since the displacement is actually quite close to an ITR, provided that it can rev freely or has the compression high enough... the ITR wud be fine?

but lets w8t for the more knowledgables im in for answers too! hehehe
